That's interesting. The vinyl release of Steady Diet of Nothing (Fugazi, 1991) had the title track (Steady Diet) split across the end of side A and the start of Side B - it fades out and back in again. They could have put the entire track on either side A or side B but chose to split it.

It's a funny idea. Maybe the Weezer one was chosen as the unit because it was the shortest, would that be it?

Took me a while to understand where I got the 59 minutes from. I skimmed Wikipedia too quickly, thought the 2 durations here were for side A and side B, and added them up.

OK, my mistake, thanks.

I seem to have missed something about length being measured in Weezers. The Weezer album is about 59 minutes long and lasts 1.0 Weezer. So far so good. The Wilco album is shorter but lasts more than one Weezer. Help, trying to understand. Thanks.

Sudor (en Vivo), by Hablan Por La Espalda 13 track album

Hablan por la Espalda, 2015-10-23 La Trastienda, Montevideo, Uruguay

Hard to describe but I like it a lot. Rock mixed with various other styles, sung in Spanish, with prominent use of organ (keyboards), unusual and original music. 13 songs, 1h 13m.

Nice long set from the final Nomeansno tour, intense and entertaining performance, sounds very good. Some good-humoured banter. The River started off sounding like electronic music which was a surprise. 1h 31m.

Great sounding tape of a highly enjoyable performance. Minimal banter, appreciative audience - someone heckles 'arigato' (thanks) and that's the sort of positive vibes to be found here. 8 pieces, 1h 23m.

The rap and the banter flow together making this compelling and fun listening despite cuts and audio issues. Loads of profanity but good-natured - Chuck and Flava make it clear which side they're on. 1h 20m.
